  • 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I support. view
  • 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to say that I oppose this Bill for the reason that it violates the principle of separation of powers. Even though the Bill seeks to say that it provides a consultative forum between the two levels of governments which is the national and the county, it actually crosses the threshold and mixes the Legislature together with the Executive. If they actually wanted to provide such a forum, then the forum should be between Senators and Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs). It cannot be between Senators and governors. If such a forum ... view
  • 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: public baraza, if you look at what is provided here. Why can we not just say that there shall be a public baraza at the ward level, constituency level and the county level? view
  • 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to encourage the Senators, and I notice from even the way this Bill is drafted, the Senators have some of the brightest legal minds in this country. The Senators are some of the people who have served the longest in this country. So, you can see that what went through here is not idle. It is actually very clever because one of the things they tried to do is that when you want to put the Women Members as the vice-chairs, then you are also trying to create divide and rule between us here ... view
  • 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: However, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is for me. I know the other Members may not want to support them but we really need to rethink the role of Senators because they do not have much.I know that it is not every day that they will be impeaching governors. It comes once in a long while because the governors are now also very alert and they have been doing their work well.Instead of waiting to impeach governors, I would want to urge them very soberly that we sit down together and help them reformulate. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know ... view
  • 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to raise two points of order. One is that I have just walked into the House; ordinarily it takes me about 10 minutes to reach Parliament from my House. Today, it has taken me two hours, and I have had to walk part of my journey without my security, because they cannot also reach town. I would like to know whether there are men in black who have taken over the Government of Kenya. view
  • 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: ( Laughter ) view
  • 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: At one point, I have seen people who have blocked the roads with their vehicles. There is a police car behind them doing absolutely nothing; it had somebody having a siesta. I would want to know whether there are men in black, who have taken over, either the City of Nairobi or the Government of Kenya. My second point of order is that halfway while I was coming in my vehicle before I abandoned it, I was listening to the proceedings of this House and your ruling on the issue of constitutionality of this Bill. I know you said that ... view
  • 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I am supporting you, hon. Speaker. view
  • 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank hon. Kamama for moving that amendment. Indeed, this is the Kamama I knew in the last Parliament. He was this forthright and brought this good amendment. So, because his amendment is better than mine, I support and I understand that mine falls. view
